"Steph Curry, curry goat, curry chicken it don't matter": Shannon Sharpe drops another hilarious remark to tip Lakers over Warriors

NFL legend turned-sports analyst Shannon Sharpe claimed that Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors will lose to the LA Lakers. The 2025 NBA Playoffs are on the horizon, with only four games remaining in the regular season for both the Lakers and Warriors.

The Lakers (48-30) are third, while the Warriors (46-32) are fifth. Given how close their records are, they could face off in the first round of the playoffs. That's only if LA falls to fourth, while Golden State remains fifth by the end of the regular season.

Considering that, Shannon Sharpe said that if the first round of the 2025 NBA Playoffs comes down to LeBron James and Steph Curry facing off in the postseason. the Lakers will win in five games.

"Steph Curry, Curry GOAT, curry chicken, it don't matter. Lakers in (five games)," Sharpe said.
